Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng didn't sleep all night. They were busy until noon, but they didn't feel tired. Instead, they were very energetic. Especially when they saw the best bluefin tuna one after another...
The number of tuna in this group is initially estimated to be more than 150. Except for a few individuals who are estimated to weigh less than 200 kilograms, most of them exceed the weight of 200 kilograms. Moreover, there are a large number of top-quality tuna among them.
Tuna should be fat. The fatter the tuna, the better the taste.
Whether or not tuna is top quality depends on the ratio of body length to body width.
Chen Yuan and the others have quite a lot of experience in fishing for tuna, and they can tell at a glance whether it is the best tuna.
But yes, sometimes I make mistakes.
Some tuna are not very wide, but are very fat. For such fish, you need to open them to see the meat quality.
The safest thing is to open it and take a look.
The price of ordinary bluefin tuna usually ranges from 200 to 600 yuan for different parts. If it is chilled bluefin tuna, the price is even higher.
In addition, the price also depends on the quality of the meat. Different tuna meat quality will lead to different prices.
The most expensive tuna, with the best meat quality and chilled. That is, tuna that has not been out of the water for a long time.
It's noon.
We cooked lunch on the Xinhai.
"Chen Yuan, Zhou Sheng, come up for dinner." Lin Xinhai shouted.
"good."
Chen Yuan and the others put down what they were doing and got on the boat.
After lunch, Chen Yuan went to the captain's room and contacted Yuan Xing: "Chen Xin, I got the reply."
After waiting for several seconds, Chen Xin replied: "Received."
"Where have you been?"
"Arrived in Dongsha."
"So fast?"
"That's not the case. Master said we are in a hurry, so let's go faster and cruise at high speed."
"Okay, you know our location here."
"Know."
Chen Yuan looked at the time, it was past one o'clock now.
It seems that they set off at 8:30 and were in Dongsha for five hours. In total, they were estimated to have covered 80 kilometers per hour, which is more than 40 nautical miles.
This high-speed cruising is a bit fierce.
After making a phone call, Chen Yuan and the others went down to catch fish.
When it comes to handling this kind of large tuna, only Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng in the entire fleet have experience.
This morning, we got up a total of 61 tuna. There are still a lot of tuna down there, I estimate there are at least a hundred more.
The catch was slow, so Lin Xinhai went to Luo Laosi's fishing boat to take stock of the catch.
There were more than twenty tuna in Luo Laosi's place. Lin Xinhai went over to take a look and divided the tuna into grades. The first grade was the best, not calculated by "jin". These were exhibition-level quality and the highlight of the tuna auction.
.
If there is a channel to send it to the expo, it is possible that a top-quality bluefin tuna of about 300 kilograms can be sold for a sky-high price of more than one million. But the possibility is not very high.
There are only two bluefin tuna that can be considered the best on the Shinkai.
Luo Laosi didn't understand bluefin tuna, so he followed Lin Xinhai: "What price can the best bluefin tuna be sold for?"
"If it's at the right time, the price may exceed one million," Lin Xinhai said. There are no good sales channels now, and the most you can do is send it to the tuna auction in Shenzhen.
But at this point in time, the market is probably on holiday. If it were to be sent for auction, a more conservative estimate would start at 200,000 yuan.
"So expensive." Luo Laosi's eyes widened and he asked, "Then how much can we sell it for?"
Luo Laosi knows what the right time means, that is, an exhibition or a major tuna auction.
Shenzhen's tuna auction market only auctions top-quality tuna twice a month. Top-quality tuna resources are scarce.
Lin Xinhai took a closer look at these tuna, which can be regarded as the best bluefin tuna. Luo Laosi only had two here.
"Each fish is guaranteed to be 150,000 yuan. If the price is lower than this, it will be frozen in my cabin and sent back to Zhapo to be dried and frozen, and will be sent to auction next year." Lin Xinhai said: "These tuna are good, even if they are specialized in fishing tuna
Bluefin tuna of this grade is also rare among ocean-going ships.”
Luo Laosi took a deep breath of air conditioning. One fish costs 150,000 yuan, which is still a guarantee: "I have a few top-quality bluefin tuna here."
"Two." Lin Xinhai thought for a moment and said, "There should be a few more top-quality blue-fin golden spears in the back."
Luo Laosi happily put his arms around Lin Xinhai's shoulders: "Brother Hai, do you think our net can break through tens of millions?"
"It's possible." Lin Xinhai also smiled: "It depends on the purchasing power of those bosses."
From Zhapo, it is more than 800 kilometers in kilometers.
Chen Xin and the others set out at around 8:30 in the morning. They didn't have anything to eat for lunch, so they rushed all the way here.
The wind outside today is strong and the swells are also strong.
The windy bow of the Yuanxing 55 cut through the sea at a very fast speed, but it was already six o'clock in the evening when they arrived at Chen Yuan's side.
When the fishing boat stopped, Lin Xinhai asked someone to drive an assault boat over and pick up several bosses on the boat.
Chen Yuan and the others are still catching fish.
The speed of lifting fish one fish at a time is too slow.
I have been busy since five o'clock yesterday and have only taken a break for more than an hour at noon. In other words, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng have inhuman physiques. If they were ordinary people, they would not be able to bear it long ago.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Jin, Mr. An..." Lin Xinhai greeted them one by one with a smile.
"You called me just after five o'clock in the morning and told me that you caught a net of top-quality bluefin tuna. How come you haven't caught all the fish yet?" Wang Fulai glanced at the bluefin tuna that was being bled, and left quickly.
He walked over and said, "Is this network all this big?"
The fish hanging on the mast is estimated to weigh about two hundred kilograms.
"This one is considered small." Lin Xinhai said with a smile: "But this fish looks good, it should be considered top quality."
“Show us the best bluefin tuna.”
"Let's go." Lin Xinhai made an invitation and entered the cold-drying cabin.
The cold-drying cabin is also an ultra-low temperature freezing cabin, but now, the temperature of the freezing cabin is only two or three degrees below zero. Let the bosses select it first before starting to freeze.
These bosses are all people who know the goods. At first sight, they saw four top-quality bluefin tuna placed in the corner, and their eyes lit up one by one.
"I want these four fishes," Boss Wang said.
"You want whatever you want, four together, 900,000," Mr. An said.
Of these four, the largest one is estimated to weigh around three hundred kilograms. If it were during the expo, this one fish might be worth millions. An Zizi knows several high-end restaurant owners who can afford high prices, but he doesn't
I told the other party in advance that the quote was 900,000, and An Zizai was a little unsure.
"Too low, 1 million." Boss Wang looked at a few tuna carefully and said calmly.
The four here are all very large, and their bodies are obviously slightly wider than other bluefin tuna.
